La présente invention concerne un portier audiovidéo répondeur. Elle a des applications dans le contrôle d'accès de- visiteurs à des lieux publics ou privés.The present invention relates to an audiovideo answering machine. It has applications in controlling access by visitors to public or private places.
Les dispositifs de contrôle d'accès sont connus de longue date depuis la simple clé d'ouverture de porte en passant par le d igicode® et jusqu'aux d ispositifs du type portier vidéo comportant caméra, interphone et télécommande d'ouverture de porte. Ces derniers dispositifs en transmettant les images et les sons vers un poste de contrôle d'accès permettent à un interlocuteur d'entendre et de voir le visiteur. L'interlocuteur bénéficie généralement sur son poste intérieu r d'une télécommande permettant l'ouverture de la porte ou la surveillance de la zone de la porte en dehors d'un appel. Ce type de dispositif présente cependant quelques inconvénients et en particulier il nécessite un câblage audiovidéo spécifique. D'autre part, en cas d'absence de l'interlocuteur, aucune trace de l'appel ne sera conservé.Access control devices have been known for a long time from the simple door opening key via the igicode® to the devices of the video door entry system type comprising camera, intercom and door opening remote control. These latter devices, by transmitting images and sounds to an access control station, allow a caller to hear and see the visitor. The interlocutor generally has a remote control on his indoor station allowing the door to be opened or the door area to be monitored outside of a call. This type of device does however have some drawbacks and in particular it requires specific audio video wiring. On the other hand, in the absence of the contact, no trace of the call will be kept.
La présente invention remédie à ces inconvénients en proposant un portier audiovidéo disposant de moyens informatiques avec de la mémoire permettant un fonctionnement en enregistreur et/ou répondeur audiovidéo et permettant des transmissions standardisées.The present invention overcomes these drawbacks by proposing an audio video door entry unit having computer means with memory allowing operation as an audio video recorder and / or answering machine and allowing standardized transmissions.

La configuration du portier audiovidéo enregistreur peut varier en fonction du site sur lequel il est installé: industriel pour entreprise ou immeuble pour des particuliers. Par exemple, chez un particulier, le téléviseur pourra être utilisé par l'adjonction d'un boîtier d'interface à capacité HTTP et connexion RTC, la communication s'effectuant donc par réseau téléphonique. Dans le cas où l'immeuble est « intelligent » et dispose d'un réseau informatique local, ledit réseau peut être utilisé en lieu et place du réseau téléphonique. Dans le cas d'un portier audiovidéo répondeur sur un site industriel disposant d'un réseau local, les terminaux informatiques ou micro-ordinateurs de l'entreprise ou d'autres dispositifs spécifiques ayant des possibilités HTTP peuvent être utilisés. Dans le cas d'une entreprise, le portier audiovidéo peut être disposé au niveau de l'entrée du personnel et comporter un lecteur de badges 42. La gâche électrique d'ouverture de porte ou d'un tourniquet de passage pouvant être commandé dans le poste d'accès où un poste de contrôle d'accès en fonction des informations contenues dans le badge.The configuration of the audio / video recorder can vary depending on the site on which it is installed: industrial for business or building for individuals. For example, in a private home, the television could be used by adding an interface box with HTTP capacity and PSTN connection, the communication therefore being carried out by telephone network. If the building is “intelligent” and has a local computer network, the said network can be used instead of the telephone network. In the case of an audiovideo answering machine on an industrial site with a local network, the company's computer terminals or microcomputers or other specific devices with HTTP capabilities can be used. In the case of a company, the audio-video door entry unit can be placed at the level of the staff entrance and include a badge reader 42. The electric strike for opening the door or a passing turnstile can be controlled in the access station where an access control station based on the information contained in the badge.
Le portier de l'invention peut également être installé sur un dispositif classique vidéo. Dans ce cas, le poste d'accès est branché en parallèle sur la caméra et l'interphone existant Dans cette application, le portier sera essentiellement utilisé comme portier répondeur Cependant, l'interlocuteur disposant de moyens HTTP peut utiliser ces derniers pour répondre en temps réel à une demande d accès ou appelThe doorman of the invention can also be installed on a conventional video device. In this case, the access station is connected in parallel to the camera and the existing intercom In this application, the doorman will mainly be used as an answering machine. However, the interlocutor with HTTP means can use these to respond in real time to an access or call request.
Enfin, les transmission peuvent s effectuer par ondes radio afin d'éviter le câble entre le poste d'accès et les postes de contrôle d accèsFinally, transmissions can be made by radio waves to avoid the cable between the access station and the access control stations.
Le poste d'accès peut comporter au niveau de son interface portier des dispositifs de détection d'anomalie ou de vandalisme et être programmé pour appeler un poste de contrôle d'accès particulier, par exemple un gardien ou une société de sécuritéThe access station can have anomaly or vandalism detection devices at its door station interface and be programmed to call a particular access control station, for example a security guard or a security company
Le porteur audiovideo est généralement place au point d accès des lieux publics ou privés, mais il peut être cependant dispose en d'autres lieux et par exemple un ascenseur si son accès doit être contrôléThe audiovideo carrier is generally placed at the access point of public or private places, but it can however be available in other places and for example an elevator if its access must be controlled
La Figure 3 représente un organigramme de fonctionnement typique du portier entre le poste d'accès actionné par un visiteur et le poste de contrôle d'accès de l'interlocuteur Cet exemple suppose que l'interlocuteur soit disponible Dans le cas contraire, le poste d accès, en I absence de l'interlocuteur peut renvoyer l'appel audiovideo vers un autre poste de contrôle d accès dont l'adresse a ete programmée dans le poste d'accès par défaut ou par l'interlocuteur initial Cet autre poste peut par exemple être celui d'une secrétaire ou le poste téléphonique portable à fonctionnalité HTTP de l'interlocuteur en déplacement Au cas, ou aucune redirection de I appel audiovidéo n'est prévu, le poste d accès peut informer par un message sonore ou visuel le visiteur de l'absence de l'interlocuteur et éventuellement lui proposer d'enregistrer soit un message particulier (exemple d'instructions spécifiques), soit lui proposer d'autres options Le cas où l'interlocuteur est présent mais ne tient pas à se manifester ou à renvoyer une réponse est prévu L'interlocuteur peut simplement renvoyer une télécommande au poste d'accès pour par exemple, qu'il émette vers le visiteur des instructions lui proposant d'enregistrer un message. Il peut aussi s'abstenir de répondre. En fonction de la programmation du poste d'accès, les appels audiovidéos seront enregistrés avec des informations temporelles systématiquement ou non ou en fonction d'événements particuliers. Dans un mode préféré de mise en oeuvre les images comportent sous forme alphanumérique des informations temporelles (date + heures/minutes/secondes). Les images peuvent éventuellement aussi comporter des informations de localisation du poste d'accès. En effet au cas où plusieurs portiers audiovidéos sont installés dans un même site, un même interlocuteur peut recevoir des appels de ces différents postes d'accès. Dans ce dernier cas, l'ordre de télécommande est dirigé vers le poste d'accès correspondant.Figure 3 represents a flowchart of typical doorman operation between the access station activated by a visitor and the access control station of the contact person. This example assumes that the contact person is available. access, in I absence of the interlocutor can redirect the audiovideo call to another access control station whose address has been programmed in the default access station or by the initial interlocutor This other station can for example be that of a secretary or the portable telephone set with HTTP functionality of the interlocutor on the move In case, or no redirection of the audio-video call is planned, the access station can inform the visitor of an audio or visual message the interlocutor's absence and possibly offer to record either a particular message (example of specific instructions), or offer him other options The case where the interlocutor is pre feels but does not want to appear or send a response is expected The contact person can simply send a remote control to the access station for example, that he issues instructions to the visitor offering him to record a message. He can also refrain from answering. Depending on the programming of the access station, the audio-video calls will be recorded with time information systematically or not or according to specific events. In a preferred embodiment, the images include, in alphanumeric form, time information (date + hours / minutes / seconds). The images can optionally also include location information of the access station. In fact, if several audio video door entry stations are installed on the same site, the same contact can receive calls from these different access stations. In the latter case, the remote control command is directed to the corresponding access station.
Dans le cadre de l'invention un ou plusieurs postes de contrôle d'accès à l'intérieur d'un site (superviseurs) ou extérieur (maintenance) peuvent disposer de privilèges particulier pour recevoir systématiquement tous les demandes d'accès et/ou interroger le poste d'accès. Le poste de contrôle d'accès ainsi privilégié peut ainsi suivre toutes les demandes d'accès et les appels/réponses ou certaines selon un ou plusieurs critères de filtrage et par exemple: interlocuteur appelé, service du site industriel appelé ... . Ce poste privilégié peut également assurer la télémaintenance du poste d'accès. Des possibilités de programmation du poste d'accès et/ou des postes de contrôle d'accès permettent éventuellement de générer des messages d'accueil en fonction de l'interlocuteur qui est appelé. Le portier offre la possibilité de programmer des redirections d'appel, de modifier dynamiquement la table localisation (adresse informatique) versus interlocuteur (identité). Enfin, au cas où l'interlocuteur dispose déjà de moyens informatiques à capacité HTTP, par exemple un micro-ordinateur, aucun matériel spécifique n'est à acheter et à installer chez l'interlocuteur. Un protocole standard étant utilisé, HTTP, tout logiciel de navigation INTERNET peut être utilisé. Le portier peut être prog rammé pour simuler une présence et émettre vers le visiteur un message sélectionné aléatoirement parmi des messages pré-en registrés par l'interlocuteur ou le fabriq uant du portier (par exemple voix d'enfant ou de personnel de maison étranger refusa nt l'ouverture) . In the context of the invention one or more access control stations inside a site (supervisors) or outside (maintenance) may have special privileges to systematically receive all access requests and / or interrogate the access station. The privileged access control station can thus follow all access requests and calls / responses or some according to one or more filtering criteria and for example: called interlocutor, called industrial site service .... This privileged station can also provide remote maintenance of the access station. Programming possibilities of the access station and / or the access control stations possibly make it possible to generate welcome messages according to the interlocutor who is called. The doorman offers the possibility of programming call redirections, of dynamically modifying the location table (computer address) versus contact (identity). Finally, if the interlocutor already has IT capacity with HTTP capacity, for example a microcomputer, no specific equipment is to be purchased and installed at the interlocutor. A standard protocol being used, HTTP, any INTERNET navigation software can be used. The doorman can be programmed to simulate a presence and send a randomly selected message to the visitor from messages pre-recorded by the interlocutor or the manufacturer of the doorman (for example the voice of a child or of foreign house staff refused the request) 'opening) .
